Ratanga Junction - Our Cape Town Theme Park

Here is the map of the Theme Park!!

As Reiko is too young, she is unable to go on any rides herself. Only Immanuel will go on the rides. And for the rides he likes, he will go a few times. There was no queue due to the weather but we missed the bustle of a theme park, ironically.

This is one of the mini train rides that they can take together. I was the photographer for that day and did not purchase any ticket as it was sufficient for hub to accompany Reiko.

In fact they liked it so much, they sat for 3 rounds. Red, blue and yellow. They should have sat once more on the green one and it will be completed.

This is a ride that goes up and around slowly.

Another type of aeroplane ride for Imm!

This is like a mini Ferris wheel.

Taking off!

Another of Immanuel's favourite rides is the crocodile swamp. In this picture, he wanted to pee badly and I said "quickly, let's take a picture first" - that was why he looked a bit awkward.

He loved this crocodile ride which goes one round in the water. It also has mini peaks and splashes that are just nice for him.

Bumper cars for his age! There was another side with bumper cars for adults and most were queuing around the other side.

Well, children have moods. This face painting was very near the entrance but Immanuel refused to paint his face when there was no queue. After all the rides, we asked him again and this time, he wanted. Somehow, all the boys love Spiderman very much in Cape Town and there were lots of Spidermen in the theme park that day.

It is painful to be a hero, I can do it!!

Tada! The sacrifice is worth it!!

After some rides, we went to watch a Bird's show at the general entertainment area where there were food and drinks. Reiko was more interested in these and will ask where the birds were as they kept flying around.

There were also dances by the mascots.

After our lunch, we went and walked around. We went to this place where both of them could ride scooters around the area. Reiko could not move around much on her own yet. Imm would try to help her by holding her or pushing her scooter from behind. 

Our last ride was at the carousel.

There was a mini lego area and Immanuel was more interested in that.

Reiko was more interested in well, just walking around.

Goodbye to Ratanga Junction!!!

The negative side was that Hub and I could not take the rides. Sometimes, what we really want is to scream at the top of our lungs to destress from the kids but then again, it was worth it to spend time together as a family.
